Welcome to the Advisory Board Hub

At Ascent Incubator, we believe that transforming regional startup ecosystems requires more than just technology—it demands local leadership, strategic collaboration, and purpose-driven execution.

That’s why we work hand-in-hand with Regional Advisory Boards—trusted networks of entrepreneurs, investors, educators, and ecosystem builders—who guide our mission across the regions where we operate and beyond.

What Are Regional Advisory Boards?

Why Advisory Boards Matter

  • Reach the right entrepreneurs in each region—first-time founders, students, professionals, and creatives.
  • Adapt to local culture, economy, and regulation through region-specific guidance.
  • Connect startups to funding opportunities through strategic introductions to investors and VCs.
  • Build trust by working with familiar, respected leaders in each region.

How Local Regions Benefit
